• Spine Surgery including minimally invasive spine surgery including microdiscectomy, minimally invasive decompression for spinal stenosis and balloon kyphoplasty
• Motion preserving surgery including cervical disc arthroplasty and laminoplasty
• Deformity correction including scoliosis, kyphosis and spinal osteotomies
• Spine tumours, revision surgery, and traumatic conditions of the spine.
